BigData Boutique

What BigData Boutique does

BigData Boutique is a privately held, founder-led boutique consulting firm (11-50 employees) headquartered in the USA that delivers expert consulting, 24/7 enterprise support, and training across the major big data and search platforms — Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, Databricks, ClickHouse, and PostgreSQL. The firm serves global enterprise clients including Wix, Playtika, AT&T, eBay, SAP, Intel, NetApp, Notion, Keller Williams, Yotpo, and Max Security, with engagements spanning platform implementation, migration, performance optimization, and production support. Its core commercial offering is custom-scoped professional services sold through a consultative direct sales motion, with engagements structured as multi-year contracts and pricing determined per engagement rather than via public rate cards.

The firm's technology stack rests on two proprietary assets layered on top of open-source foundations: Pulse, an AI-powered SRE platform that automates monitoring and root cause analysis for Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and ClickHouse clusters; and Shraga, an open-source minimal RAG framework providing BaseFlow abstraction, a FastAPI layer with authentication and analytics, DocHandler for document preprocessing, BaseEmbedder plug-ins for Amazon Bedrock, Google, and OpenAI, and a shraga-ui React component library. BigData Boutique monetizes these through services rather than standalone SaaS licenses. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales motion with an AWS Advanced Tier Consulting Partner channel that includes Amazon OpenSearch Service Delivery and AWS AI Services Competency designations, plus community-led demand generation through General Membership in the OpenSearch Software Foundation and active participation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon and OpenSearchCon.

Commercially, the firm operates three revenue streams: (1) expert consulting and architecture services billed as project-based professional services; (2) enterprise support and managed services for Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and ClickHouse, including newly accredited 18-month OpenSearch LTS support with SBOM-backed security compliance; and (3) training and enablement programs delivered as part of consulting engagements or standalone offerings. Revenue, funding, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder-owned with no identified institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity.
